The Juan Bautista de Anza Trail passes through three states and two countries as it follows the historic route of Spanish colonizers from Mexico to what is now San Francisco. This particular spot in the trail is close to Sentinel Peak Park (yes, you can bike up the road to the peak). The trail also parallels the Santa Cruz River for a stretch.
